150 years ago, US leaders have decided to establish their national parks on ancestral lands that once belonged to indigenous populations, and were in most cases taken from them with violence. Some weeks ago, Charles "Chuck" F Sams III, a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation has become the first Native American to lead the National Park Service, the US federal agency that manages national parks.

According to a UK study reported by The Guardian, men are responsible for 40% more emissions compared to women. This is because men's diets have generally more meat and a quarter of the diet caused emissions are connected to food and beverage like coffee, alcol, cakes and sweets. So, according to these studies not only meat but also other types of food are responsible for emissions, which is a bit of a relief for all the people who are not yet ready to give up on meat.
